Music & Lyrics: Pilson, Dokken, Lynch, Brown

Clouds roll by as I look to the sky
And then the feeling comes, it comes on again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin
Oh, will I ever learn
You're the only one I would call my own
But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again

I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find love and peace of mind
On these streets again, will it ever end

I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

You know desire burns like a fire, fire within
I guess I'll never learn
You're the only one I would call my own
But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be wrong
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

I'm a hunter
Searching for love
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again.

This guitar in this song is so magical and elusive and unique. Man, I can approximate almost anyone's sound with various gear but Under Lock and Key is different, no guitar sounded like this ever since. I mean even Lynch does not sound like this anymore. The midrange growl, the sweetest distortion, the clarity, the punch, I am really short for words to describe the guitar tone. And the riff is great too and I have no idea as to why I feel this much compelled to make a comment like this :)

[Steve Martin]

Don't give all the credit to George. The whole thing is magnificent. Don's voice meshing with the guitars and the drumming, there's a reason I randomly have dreams about this song. Because it's better than almost everything else.

[joevanvai]

I absolutely love the guitar solo!

[Jay Ferrante]

I frequently hunt for the elusive moose knuckle.

[alexrourke1984]

we are all hunters

[jackobyuk]

when i heard this song for the first time, i was thinking about a guy hunting girls at bars for sex ... but its about a hair band being a hunted by a bunch of red necks... this is just to silly, what where they thinking??...lmao.

[Ali Duman Pak]

Lynch rocks!

[Chan Souvannarath]

Well said. George freaking Lynch at his finest, probably one of his best, the solo is so good, the phrasing is so beautiful.
